i am planning a pokemon game about the future but i am a noob so i wanted to ask
1. what do i need to make this a real rom or is it possible
2. what should i use as a noob rpgmaker2000/2003/xp/
3. what are the main things i need to learn
thnxs in advance:D

to make it an actual rom you need to program it in ASM or C++... There is even a program for that. No clue as to it's status cuz i haven't used it since making a gba version of pacman. Have a GBA cartage for it and everything. The progarm is Catapult(sp?).
RM2K/3 is a good engine. But don't get hooked on it. Play with RMXP awhile.

Is it really the best idea to tell a total n00b to learn Java *just* to make a game? It seems like it's going a bit overboard, since to learn Java properly takes time... at my university, we don't even study it until second year, when we've already gone through C and Haskell completely. If all you want to do is make a simple game, then RM2K3 is perfectly adequate... or even Sphere. XD

Programming is not for everyone... Programming is a skill that takes time, Study, and devotion to aquire. Your not gonna be a programmer over night, and your not gonna have any fun trying to be a progremmer if you have no idea what your doing. If you tryed to learn java being the noob you are you whould get no self gradification from the simple hello world projects you whould be working on.
Java is not only to high level of a program language for a noob but its also not the best language. heres a simple hierarchy for game development...

Lol... I don't know how you came up with that order, but it is clearly not right. Javascript is right on the top, how is this so? It's weaker than everything on that list..

*sigh* I wish Mark Overmars took out drag and drop, or highlighted GMs stronger points, because it's obvious that outside the GMC, people don't know anything about GMs ability (unless they actually used it properly [ie, made non tutorial games with it]). Oh well, when I release my game here, maybe things will change.

i wanted to tell you about my game to see if this is to advance for a noob should lower my standards since i am a noob

its about pokemon atleast 15 years after ash becomes pokemon master and your a boy just moving to pallet town with your aunt since your parents left you to become pokemoon master and you trying to find out who they are.
thats the base of my story but this is not the theard for it i just want to know is this to much for a noob

GMuser: I love the h3ll out of gamemaker it tought me alot about how games work and how to solve problems. I used it way back when ver 4 was out. but looking back I wish I had spent that time learning more about programming instead of haveing everything done form me like with gamemaker. I took the time to learn GML and now I fell like I have wasted part of my brain becuse I can only use GML with gamemaker and once you get into game development as a carrer youl learn that no one knows about or cares about GML. But I will say GM6 is really really awsome!

Please don't relate Java and JavaScript to each other in that way. Java is a fully-fledged programming language. JavaScript is a simple scripting language used for websites.

Exactly!

@ slayerseitaro:
Well version 4 is pretty ancient- so I can sort of see why you thought of it as not being such a up the top of your list sort of thing.
I already know that learning GML isn't the way to go if your after a career in game development, but learning how to program in GM is just the same as if you learnt in VB, java, c++ etc. (minus the syntax differences). Programming is programming, and the techinques in 3rd generation programming languages are gonna be the same in most cases- eg: there isn't 20 different methods of sorting an array linearly just because each language has different syntax, when you break it down, you doing the same thing in each language.
